Territory, VIC

Territory consists of almost 54 hectares and sits across the upper catchment of the Lang Lang River. Greenfleet’s revegetation of this property will benefit the environment by improving soil and water quality and sequestering carbon. 

This property had been cleared for grazing but originally hosted the Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVC) of Damp Forest and Wet Forest. Greenfleet began revegetating this property in 2024, with a focus on planting riparian and wet forest species to help restore the ecosystems that existed before the land was cleared.  

Greenfleet planted 24 different locally native species at Territory to make up the canopy, mid-story and under-story. Our revegetation work will help provide a framework to rejuvenate the unique ecosystems known to the region. 

One important species planted is the Strzelecki Gum (Eucalyptus strzeleckii), a critically endangered tree species endemic to the Strzelecki Ranges. 

Greenfleet planted additional fast-growing Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) in riparian areas to help prevent the removal of the topsoil and improve the water quality. At our adjacent Wurneet Laang Laang forest we are already seeing improvements in the Lang Lang River, with water now showing a steady, clear flow, as it eventually runs down and into Western Port Bay. 

Blue Gum (Eucalptus globulus) is also included in the revegetation process, which is known habitat for koalas, birdlife and other native animals.  

The Gippsland region is known for its high carbon sequestration potential. Greenfleet uses the Full Carbon Account Model (FullCAM) to measure the carbon uptake at our revegetation sites. This model was developed by the CSIRO and is approved by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.  

The forest growing at Territory is legally protected for 100 years and cannot be cut down for any reason, even if the land changes ownership. You can read more about our 100 Year Forest Protection here.
